I really liked the Leik questions, the questions are also available on an iPhone app that makes it really easy to study on the go! I passed boards I took APEA live review and studied Leik iPhone app questions! Good luck!! The questions on boards are closest to AANP practice test.

I did not find the questions were similar, but the information you learn will help you evaluate the exam question and select the appropriate answer. This exam is not a "oh, I saw this question" type of test, but more of using critical thinking and having a good basic knowledge.
I have good concept of the information. Is is safe to say if I just study the 600 leik questions and rationales I should be fine for the AANP, because its just so much information to know.

I made a post about study techniques that I used I. Another recent post, but let me just say here that you will need to research a lot with her book. The questions are good but there were at least 38 INCORRECT ANSWERS OR RATIONALES to the 642 questions, and those were just the ones I found!
The information she provided at the beginning was better and mostly correct. But be aware of the questions and do not take her answers as being correct. I researched the answers, and that is probably what helped me to pass. If you would happen to draw some question similar to the ones she answers incorrectly, it could make the difference between passing and failing. So,study up, and remember that she even recommends that you study from at least 2 sources. I used her book, Holliers book, Fitzgeralds book and CD, and Barkley CDs. I passed this last Saturday. good luck to you!!
I thought the questions helped cover the content but none were the same as those on the exam. But the variety of courses helped me to prepare well.
